Each time you sign in to Google, you will have these choices, regardless of the computer you are on. Do not forget to sign into Google and then save any bookmarks there as well as in your Web browser. This will be an invaluable tool and you may never lose a favorite again!

on 1/28/2008 Not only do I have google bookmarks, I also have yahoo. I tend to use one for business links and one for personal favorites. Between the two, no matter how many times I crash, I can always get back to my favorite sites.

on 1/8/2008 I've had the Google toolbar for awhile, but haven't really paid attention to it (doh!) - thanks for this great article! Now, no matter where I am, I can save my favorites!

on 1/8/2008 This is so nice. I use it for work because I have tons of links I have to have to do my job. Then I set my homepage to it. Oh well now if the IT department decides to "fix" my computer for me.
